    Can you explain using the family day tickets and family airlink tickets that are available through the m-tickets app? Is it just one ticket I show on one device to cover the two adults/one child in my family?

  • @OneJourneyAway

    @OneJourneyAway

    3 ай бұрын

    Yup, that’s correct! Normally, m-tickets are only valid for one person per device, with family m-tickets being the exception. You just have to activate it on your device, show it to the driver, and tell them who’s with you as part of the ticket. Hope this helps!

    For Lothian Buses, there aren’t weekly tickets as such, but the cheapest way to get around for a week would be to use TapTapCap, as there is a weekly cap of £22. Hope this helps!

    There are red buttons all over the bus for you to press for the next stop - you won’t miss them. All of the newer buses have screens showing you the next stop. Hope this helps!

    Very helpful and lovely video! I have two questions. - If I get a day ticket in paper form? How do I use it for multiple trips? - Can I pay for two day tickets with one contactless credit card?

  • @OneJourneyAway

    2 ай бұрын

    Thank you for your lovely comment! For a paper day ticket, just keep your ticket with you and present it to the driver every time you hop on a bus. And yes, you just need to first tell the driver that you'd like two adult/child day tickets and you can tap your card when the driver tells you to. Hope this helps!

    TapTapCap is not currently available for the trams as they operate on a pre-purchase policy, but you can pay via contactless before you board a tram. Hope this helps!

    Lothian Buses’ NightBus service runs between midnight and 04.30 so yes, you would have to buy a night ticket. Hope this helps!

    Sort of - if you take the bus multiple times per day, the system will cap your taps at £4.80, making it slightly cheaper than buying a £5 day ticket. Hope this helps!
